Out Choosing April Fool Royalty After three days and nights of counting ballots, the jud ges have finally chosen the king•and queen of April Fool's DO in a contest sponsored by Collegian. The contest was a close one and was considerably slow ed down when the judges found out they had been misled by a.picture of Lana Tu'rner, entered by the Alpha Falfas as a coed.

The Countess, who hails origi nally from Jersey, is a fine speci men of feminine 'health and beau ty, with her classic features, deep brawn eyes, beautiful auburn hair, and the "skin you lave to touclh." When interviewed recently, the Countess agreed that Penn State is olie of the most beautiful spots on earth, although she wishes that it would rain more. Being used to a more moist climate than that of State College, ►e cannot get used to the dry air at this alti tude. Although tfhe Countess has been in State College for several years, sthe has lived a very secluded life here; hence, ifew people know about her. When asked for her opinion op various current issues of world shaking importance, the Countess declined to make a statement, apparently feeling that any such expression of opinion might be dangerous at this time. Anyway, et this point the in terview ended as Penstate %Nark ling Countess was led back to her stall in the dairy barn. At 10 a. m. today, Governor Democrat will dedicate the top half of the new $2.,000,000 Penn State Stupid Union building. The top •half was the dheapest to build, and because there was only a limited amount of funds, the College official s decided to build The top' half and add the rest later. The , building is similar to Stupid Unions all over the coun try, except that this one has a re ituge for .Rockview fugatives.

The branch store will be located in the base ment of Engineering H. There were many bids for the location of the "spirit dispen sary"; the strongest coming from houses owned and operated by men's groups, known locally as fraternities. !Since, however, women students are restricted in visiting fraternities, it was decid ed that this location would be a more satistfactory . choice. The legislature's popular act climaxes .a strong student move ment whidn had been gaining impetus • as the years went by. During bhe war years, particu larly, there was much •discussion, on the unfavorable situation. This . Was due to lack of transportation.. Leader of the pressure group which forced the bill through to • a successful vote wall I Fames Casey, late of Penn State, who is probafbly the foremost authority on the liquor situation in State College. It was learned late yesterday that the Bellefonte-State College. bus line is to be discontinued as a result of the legislative act. Whether the present State Liquor store at Bellefonte will be closed is a matter of conjecture. . ~ '~~~ There's nothing especially nice about this building, and students who visit it won't he satisfied.
